Hi

we own a 1997 p reg fiat punto 60 sx in Black, We love the colour but feel its about time it was treated and given a new coat lol
Because it's already a black car we only require the outside spraying. But have no idea of how much it might cost, thats where i'm hoping you guys could help
we do live ooop north so hopefully cheaper then for those who live down south haha

cheers

kitty:slayer:

just clay it, polish it with a machine ( propper one not £10 one) wax it and seal it, it will look as good as new

for the cost of a respray it will be cheaper to sell it and buy a mint condition punto sporting 16v.

a respray would cost more than the motor is worth pure&simple

I knew some would say that lol but I love this car and have no real intention of getting rid of it at any point, so spending some money on it doesn't bother me.

Sporting not really my thing dude haha




Thanks Dave might give that a whirl take it although a proper job takes time it's something I could do myself without too much trouble?

the sporting isnt really that sporting tbh.... its just a more luxury model, they are so much better than the 60.

yeah have a look in the car care section for tips

or pay a pro detailer about 100 quid to do it, a lot cheaper than a respray

I know a guy who owns a sprayer said I can borrow it, cos mine neds a respray and possibly some new panels due to dents, scrappy time! then Ill just need a nice garage to do the spraying in. Just a case of will it look really rubbish if I do it myself?

yes

depends on your preparation and whether or not you know what you are doing.

:yeahthat:

I'd get some replacement panels and practice on them before attempting a whole car.

thats the Idea, I got some dented panels so gonna get hold of some off a scrappy to practice on I got a smooth boot that eeds painting, a combat front bumper that needs paiting, and a rear bumper still to get hld o but I dont want the combat one cos I think it looks gross.
